In the Altai of Kazakhstan, they decided to “tighten” Lenin with an excavator bucket, after which the monument made an epic landing “head” down.
In the city of Altai, East Kazakhstan region, a very bright and very memorable restoration of the monument to the “leader of the world proletariat” Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was carried out, Dialog.UA reports with reference to the TG channel “Ukraine 365“, who posted the corresponding video.
A video of this fascinating creative process was posted on the Web and immediately became “viral”: an excavator with a huge front bucket (popularly called a “beggar tractor”) drives up to the monument from behind, catches Ilyich from below, pointing somewhere ahead, into the communist light future, and literally knocks off the pedestal. Absolutely unsuspecting Lenin flies “head” down, having managed to roll over at least 160-170 degrees in flight.
But then the epic picture was completed by original explanations of the incident…
The city administration, as well as some Kazakhstani media, wrote that the monument to Lenin allegedly fell “accidentally.”
“During the repair, the loader allowed the monument to move, as a result of which the monument fell from the pedestal. Law enforcement agencies are investigating the circumstances of the incident”– this is what journalists write, citing local officials.
Their words seem to be confirmed by the fact that a competition was announced earlier for the restoration of the monument. However, the video posted on the Internet completely refutes the “accidental” fall. Firstly: the restoration of monuments is carried out, how would it be more delicate to say, with a slightly different technique and certainly not a backhoe loader with a jaw bucket.
Secondly: if this is a restoration, and not a transfer to another place, then the monuments are furnished with an iron frame with wooden platforms, so that it is convenient for restorers to move along them. In this case, we clearly see how the excavator drives up to the monument and simply demolishes it with a bucket. Any other equipment (crane, flatbed truck, etc.), which is usually present during the restoration or transportation of the monument to another place, is simply absent, so we can say that the driver was initially set to demolish Ilyich.
In turn, the inhabitants of Altai in an interview with journalists stressed that they plan to erect a monument to “one of the outstanding residents of Kazakhstan” in the place of the Soviet leader. And this also indirectly confirms our version that the monument was demolished and not restored. Apparently, the leadership of Kazakhstan has set a goal to get rid of the remnants of the Soviet era. Why, then, be ashamed of this and come up with some kind of restoration …
As you can see, decommunization, which was one of the formal reasons for the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine, is being perfectly carried out in Kazakhstan. But will the Moscow dictator Putin conduct a “special operation” in this country as well, given the fact that he is already up to his ears in the “Ukrainian NVO”?
Recall that a Soviet monument was restored with pomp in Hungary, during this event Putin and Orban were reminded of a very uncomfortable truth.
We also wrote that in Georgia, on the monuments to Pushkin, Gorky and Mayakovsky, inscriptions appeared with warnings: “Russia is killing.”
